Her stool "problem" actually started when she was on her "self-imposed" veggetarian diet, which really surprises me!   I would think that just veggies would have been better for her but it seemed to be just the opposite.  Her little stools have actually gotten more normal looking just the few days she has been off the veggies ... go figure!!     

   Dr. Kattman said she needs the nutrients from the dog food and wouldn't be getting everything she needs from the veggies.   I guess we will see in the next couple of weeks ... Toto is confused and I feel so badly because I feel that this unhappiness of hers is my fault.   Patrick says I should quit "beating myself up"!   I just can't to see that sad look in her eyes!     
  
Yes, Alameda East is the one on Animal Planet.  They recently finished the new facility and they have their "General" and "Emergency" departments on opposite sides.  The whole thing is so impressive and it's so obvious that there are lots of dedicated, caring people there!  From the minute we signed her in, Toto was their focus and we were just her "humans"!    

   I hope we never have to go to the "Emergency" side, but after seeing it, Patrick assures me that if Toto ever has anything that requires it .... that's where she will be!  It just gave us such peace of mind, it was certainly worth the trip!
